    Exterior Plastic Trim, Rubber Bits and Faux Chrome:
    All exterior plastic trim cleansed with Eshine biodegradable AllPurpose Cleaner. *This stuff really impressed me. I compared it to two other APC during the detail and it won hands down!*
    All exterior plastic trim & rubber bits were dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant
    Faux Chrome on front grill was cleansed/protected with Duragloss 501

    Exterior rubber trm looks clean huh??

    Glass was cleansed with Surf City Clearly Better

    Paintwork:
    Optimum No Rinse Wash (vehicle was relatively clean)
    Spot Clayed with Riccardo Clay
    Duragloss 501 via Makita using Blue LC CCS pad to clean paint (I love this stuff and always end up using it in one fashion or another during EVERY detail.)

    Aqua Wax as final wipe down

    Wow man another great job bud, that truck does not look like it has over 100,000 on it at all. I always see you using SC grime destroyer and I think I am going to have to pick some up as this stuff seems promising!!!!

    Obviously your attention to detail is top notch. :) Kind of an ugly color, though.

    How does that Surf City Nano Seal hold up?

    Thanks Dave!

    I see this vehicle regularly so it is relatively easy to do the upkeep.. and the owner is very kind to his vehicle so that is a plus as well
